At 3pm est time either enable your firewalls or completely turn off your computers, there will be a massive strike against all computer systems and only sure way to not get hit is to have your computer off. AAround 3pm est id turn on the news and see if anything has happen & then id give it atleast 15min before turning your machine back on.
GL I hope everyone survives the attack or much rather it just not happen

norton users --> http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sobig.f@mm.html
mcafee users ---> http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100561.htm
just go to regedit and see if it installed itself.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
"TrayX" = %Windir%\WINPPR32.EXE /sinc
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
"TrayX" = %Windir%\WINPPR32.EXE /sinc

| WWW.mcafee.com has a free scan but I would suggest getting a firewall. |

| getting an Anti-Virus is well worth it. but in this case you would know if you had teh SoBig Virus. You also need to open an attachment to be infected. |
